I have been recently playing around some still life images (still lifes?), one thing I have been rather struggling with is the choice of background. I have been looking through the still life threads here on the forum, but obviously on the best images there the background is, well, not easily discernable, as it should be.
So I would like to ask around those of you who are more experienced in this, what are your preferred choices? Plain wall? Some types of cloths? Paper? Something completely different?
Thank you for all suggetions.
